Wait till he comes to Washington and has an opportunity for comparison;" and she cast a frank glance at her mirror, where Wiles, with a sardonic bow, left her standing. Mr. Gashwiler was quite as confident of his own success with Congress. "We are within a few days of the end of the session. We will manage to have it taken up and rushed through before that fellow Thatcher knows what he is about."
Wiles turned his wicked eye on him. "Manuel and Miguel, who sold out to our man, are afraid of her. They were our witnesses. I verily believe they'd take back everything if she got after them. And as for Pedro, he thinks she holds the power of life and death over him." "Pedro! life and death, what's all this?" said the astonished Gashwiler.
He had taken an active part in the last campaign. He did not like to say it, but it had been universally acknowledged that he had elected Gashwiler. Who? Gen. Pratt C. Gashwiler, member of Congress from our deestrict. Oh! I asked him if he had any particular or definite office in view. Well, no. He had left that to Gashwiler.
Other Gashwiler property was sacred to him. From all the emporium's choice stock he would have abstracted not so much as a pin; but the Gashwiler cigars, said to be "The World's Best 10c Smoke," with the picture of a dissipated clubman in evening dress on the box cover, were different, in that they were pointedly hidden from Merton.

But if I can't bring her round I'll speak to Gashwiler, I'll get him to use his influence with Mrs. Hop. So cheer up, my boy, HE'LL make it all right."

At the moment he was bewailing that the next installment of The Hazards of Hortense would be shown on a Saturday night, for on those nights the store kept open until nine and he could see it but once.
It could not be taken for the mansion of a rich banker, or the country home of a Wall Street magnate. He felt that he had been keen in his dispraise, especially as old Gashwiler would never get the sting of it. Clod! Three blocks brought him to the heart of the town, still throbbing faintly. He stood, irresolute, before the Giddings House.
